Now see, I think the whole "natural" movement & alternative remedies *are* superstitious. Trusting an herb over medicine can fall under superstition, & it doesn't necessarily imply religion, though some might use a "religious exemption" in their state if a "personal belief" one isn't available to avoid vaccination. I…

I'm a fast eater, but I eat quickest when the food I'm eating is really sloppy. So picture a sandwich or burger that's so loaded, juice/sauces/toppings fall onto the plate. I react instinctively by eating quickly, so that less of that delicious food spills out (and the less makes it makes on my hands). The more it's…

I took this as a more awkward way of asking that a) she works more hours/finds a job or better paying job or b) she spends less of their income on discretionary items/individual things, and more towards the necessities. It could definitely have been spelled out more, but I guess it's just an example.

How good are local florists at providing receipts when you're out of town, though? That's my main concern when ordering for work-related occasions, so I can get reimbursed, & I usually end up with the awful online retailers just because I have guaranteed documentation.

I'm sure lots of assassinations have been carried out by the mentally ill, with dark thoughts they couldn't control - does the purposeful murder of an important figure not count as assassination just because the person doing it is ill?

Most drug stores will offer sale/coupon prices as long as you have their loyalty card/phone # in the system. That's usually enough to make my makeup purchases worth it at the drug store.

I actually thought having a cookie stand outside of our neighborhood grocery store was great for the girls in our troop. Not sure about the door-to-door, but learning how to interact with strangers in a business setting, handling money and supplies, etc was really helpful, and taught social and money skills. It's a…

That's part of the reason I avoid spicy food, especially on a date-type situation. But saying "I don't want to eat that because I don't want you to see snot running down my face" can kill the mood, so people just think I'm a wimp. *shrug*

Are you adding spice before you taste the food? That's my biggest pet peeve with my dad, who will reach for the salt shaker before he even picks up his fork. Once you taste it, yeah sure whatever - I know his taste buds are blown and forgive spice/condiment usage. But adding before tasting is an insult. Try my d***…

I guess you have to go with hairstyles that are under both types, or fall somewhere in between? That's the problem with catch-all guides; you have to take them with a grain of salt.

Sometimes guys who pull out the "egalitarian" card do it to invalidate feminism (and show a basic misunderstanding of the word - "I'm not feminist because I believe that women are equal to men, not better"), so I'd be careful about that label, but your attitude is just fine. I think that applies to almost anything in…

#NotAllMaleFeminists! My brother has called himself a feminist, and he's very respectful of the women in his life, and the conversations about women's rights and male privilege. There's a difference between the guys who want to proclaim their feminism via megaphone so everyone can congratulate them on their social…

Yes.

Seconded, from a female person. The combover is one of the least sexy hairstyles.

If you like Miles Teller, hopefully that will overpower your Shailene fatigue.

Wild and Foxcatcher, so yeah, a little out of it ;) Dude on the right Miles Teller is amazing in Whiplash, but until the Oscar nominations came out it was playing in, like, 10 theaters.

Miles was seriously the best part of that movie - and I love JK Simmons, but Miles's part seemed more difficult to pull off to me, and he totally did. I shouldn't be that surprised since he was amazing in Spectacular Now.

Is there any situation where Sienna Miller is cast in something that couldn't have been done better than Naomi Watts or Michelle Monaghan? (the two actresses I usually think she is, by mistake)

I hate how Australian actors all sound like they're going to the same voice coach, who's main directive is "more gravel - it needs more gravel." I tried watching Alex O'Loughlin on Hawaii 5-0 but it bothers me so much that he's supposed to be born & raised in Hawaii, yet somehow sounds like Anthony Lapaglia from…

Are you trying to argue that the Academy members don't make up the Academy? That the Academy consists only of Academy employees? When people blame the Academy they're blaming it as a whole. Calm down.
